Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Driven to desperation by this situation, the Japanese, after two major mergers of townships and towns, created the "Taiwan-Zhou System Promotion Headquarters." However, after 20 years of implementation, Prime Minister Abe, who came up with this new system, is probably already in elementary school, and still no results have been achieved. It still requires Li Xinghe's iron fist to forcefully resolve the issue.

Hua Yingmei smiled, and as always, with the practiced ease of a beauty from all corners of the world, announced:

"From now on, Tokyo Prefecture, or rather, South Kanto Prefecture, shall begin preparations for its establishment."

Clapping hands loudly.

Then she introduced the first person in charge of the preparations:

"The first person in charge of governance over a large area was our respected Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike."

Yuriko Koike's expression was very stiff, suggesting she was forced to appear on screen.

Her Tokyo Metropolitan Government First Association was shut down by Li Xinghe for allegedly being part of the "Shingo Miyake and Ren Mori Rebellion Association". The four vice governors and local bureaucrats who used to be associated with her are now either in jail or have resigned to curry favor with the town service groups.

Now she's just a political figurehead with an empty title, but in reality, she's nothing.

“After I finish this job, you promised to appoint me as the British ambassador.”

Yuriko Koike gritted her teeth.

"of course."

Hua Yingmei smiled like a spring breeze.

Yuriko Koike has a high reputation, so we won't kill her for now. Instead, we'll exile her overseas for a few years and see how things go.

If the MacArthur regime sealed off Japan's vital energy channels, then Li Xinghe has probably restored some of the connections between Japan's head, neck, and chest, essentially opening up some of those channels.

While being used as a shield, Koike also asked Hua Yingmei:

Aren't you afraid of causing a shock to foreign investment?

Hua Yingmei did not answer, but Ayako Aso relayed Li Xinghe's words:

"Are you stupid? It's precisely because I have already established a strong foundation for controlling the entire country of Japan that they are flocking here."

American businessmen aren't stupid.

When they venture overseas, they prefer places with powerful warlords or those who can make the final decision, where they can establish a foothold in a stable market with a small investment.

In bizarre religious democracies like India, there isn't a single, authoritative leader who can make the final call. Instead, foreign investors are often exploited and exploited to the point of ruin through political infighting.

Meanwhile, the eradication of the First Association of the Capital Citizens is also underway.

A large number of people suddenly disappeared from the Tokyo Metropolitan City Council, taking leave for various reasons or simply vanishing.

They were sent to prison, wailing in despair:

"Gods, open your eyes!"

But the right-wing elements in the same prison were giving them a hard time:

"Shut up, the true gods have already descended upon the world."

Li Xinghe is a divine child. As his political stance gradually stabilized, the Japanese right-wing conservative forces had no choice but to accept reality. On one hand, they knelt down and begged Li Xinghe to become king, and on the other hand, they futilely helped Li Xinghe promote those mythical stories about a "divine child" and a "reincarnated nine-tailed fox seeking revenge."

Even with these kinds of jokes, they still can't beat the 'Japan Unification and Naturalization Association,' which has already grown to millions of members, becoming the number one emerging grassroots cult. Mei, are you in Yong? No time. Lin, are you in...?

Of course, since it does not operate for profit and is mainly subsidized by Li Xinghe, it cannot be certified as a cult. It can only be described as a peculiar religious entity that is keen on opening language schools, spreading Chinese language, and promoting Chinese history education.

……

The next day, Li Xinghe prepared to go to Hokkaido.

This time, he will bring along the Kokubun sisters and Yamato Keirō to showcase his close relationship with the financial family and stabilize market changes.

Meanwhile, the Asuka sisters, who were responsible for protecting the operation, nervously reported back to Li Xinghe:

"We will travel to Kushiro Port in Hokkaido aboard the Yashima battleship. Then we will hold immigration talks there. Finally, we may consider going to Sapporo, but for safety reasons, it is best not to go. That is the black stronghold of the remnants of the Liberal Democratic Party."

"We plan to mobilize armored reconnaissance units from the 2nd Division, 11th Brigade, and 5th Brigade in Hokkaido to assist in the advance. In Hokkaido, we must operate entirely under wartime conditions, dispatching Self-Defense Forces to Sapporo and other areas in advance, and establishing a 30-mile (approximately 15 kilometers) perimeter at each movement..."

In the Nagumo sisters' strategic plan, this was entirely a plan for overseas operations.

Do you need to mobilize troops to go out on your own land?

Moving from Tokyo, Li Xinghe's stronghold, a city teeming with communists, Chinese immigrants, and citizens with stable political stances, to Hokkaido, a place with little connection to the Tokyo government and a sparsely populated political landscape, really requires careful preparation.

In theory, Li Xinghe was actually visiting a political region of equal rank to himself.

Furthermore, Hokkaido is the main gathering place for the last remnants of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). It is a place where the party is extremely corrupt, and there are even constant calls for "Hokkaido independence." It is said that the local LDP wants to follow Taiwan's example and promote the local identity of the Ainu people. However, in reality, they want to use the indigenous identity of Hokkaido to create an independence event, just like the Ryukyu model, and push Hokkaido into war.

Ideally, an independence incident could be fabricated to break Hokkaido, which is controlled by the Liberal Democratic Party, out of Li Xinghe's control.

This kind of situation, where people use the title of indigenous people to create independence but are actually a different dominant ethnic group, is very much like the pro-independence camp in Taiwan.

Therefore, Li Xinghe still needs to address this issue.

Li Xinghe had actually considered creating Ainu Hokkaido's independence, but it would be ridiculous if these remnants of the Liberal Democratic Party managed to do it.

There were many family members who came to see Li Xinghe off; it was a huge, bustling crowd.

The Bluebird Mother, dressed in a light blue noblewoman's dress and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sighed to Li Xinghe:

"Hokkaido was once known as the 'Red Prefecture,' becoming Japan's last red stronghold after the red tide on Honshu collapsed. But unfortunately, just like the politics on Honshu, the red tide receded and the far right returned. Now the Liberal Democratic Party on Honshu has collapsed, with only a few small forces clinging to life. As a result, Hokkaido has become a black stronghold, the last gathering place of the Liberal Democratic Party. It's truly lamentable."

Hokkaido was like a haven for remnants of the revolution. When the Red Tide swept across Japan, the entire country was red, but it still couldn't defeat the Liberal Democratic Party, which was backed by the United States. So after the Red Tide receded, Hokkaido maintained a "Red Prefecture" politics for more than a decade.

Li Xinghe rolled his eyes:

"But in reality, it had already become right-leaning during the Red Dao Hall period, hadn't it?"

This is a very unique place to observe island politics. Although the KMT (Kuomintang) still has a large number of supporters, they are consistently suppressed by the DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) in political discourse, resulting in a situation where some are "KMT on the outside but DPP on the inside" and their stance is wavering. After all, the DPP has grasped the public's mindset.

The same thing happened in Japan. During the Hokkaido Red Prefectural Government period, the governors and mayors elected by the Japan Socialist Party (a branch of the Communist Party) inevitably gradually shifted their political demands towards the right-wing stance of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), eventually becoming "red on the outside, black on the inside." Then, after the last Socialist Party governor left, the Socialist Party in Hokkaido quickly collapsed, subsequently reorganizing into branches of the LDP, the Risudden Democratic Party, and the Komeito Party, beginning to resemble the political stance of Honshu. This is because the LDP also controlled the public opinion and sentiment of the Japanese people.

The bluebird mother is still thinking about it:

"Unfortunately, the red prefecture of Hokkaido and the Japanese Communist Party's stronghold of Kyoto Prefecture have all receded. We will dedicate ourselves to Sino-Japanese cooperation and, based on changes in economic issues, win back the public's mindset."

When the Japanese communist movement receded, two red sites remained: the red prefectural government office in Hokkaido and Kyoto Prefecture, which was certified as the headquarters of the Japanese Communist Party.

The wave of reforms to local governments launched by the Japanese Communist Party in those years, which spread throughout the country, began in Kyoto Prefecture.

However, due to the decline of Hokkaido and the urban poverty belt formed by Kyoto and Osaka prefectures, these areas have inevitably become more right-leaning and conservative.

As Bluebird's mother reminisced about the political ideologies she encountered while studying at Kyoto University, her plump, round buttocks were slapped by her daughter:

"Stop lamenting, old woman. Why don't you think about your daughter's feelings first?"

We're going to Hokkaido together, but Yukami Higashikawa, wary of intelligence gathering and assassinations, rolled her eyes as she dragged her luggage, wishing she could kick her own mother.

I am your biological daughter, and the man next to you is someone else's biological son.

The mother bluebird, reluctant to part, held onto Li Xinghe's arm and waved goodbye to her daughter.

"What daughter? You're all grown up now. Take care of your own things."

"you!"

Higashikawa Yukami gritted her teeth in anger.

She turned and grabbed Nan Jiaduomei, whose pregnancy was becoming increasingly apparent, and shouted, "Your wife and child are in my hands. Now help me move these things!"

"Stop fooling around."

Southern Californian woman Domi laughed heartily, finding the game between the mother and daughter simply amusing.

Since becoming pregnant, the Nan family has been mobilizing its resources to help Li Xinghe's farm deliver more agricultural products to supermarkets, so Nan Jiaduomei's life has become increasingly pampered.

When her daughter was being difficult, Qingniao's mother said one sentence that made Xue Shi Jiang break down:

"Hmph. A worthless little fish that can't even have children."

"Wow!"

Xue Shi was so angry that she stomped her feet and could only grab Li Xinghe's hand and run to the boat.

The mother bluebird then waved her hand:

Have a safe trip.

But she still had one last request for Li Xinghe:

"If you encounter an attack by remnants of the Liberal Democratic Party in the area, and things get really bad, just fire a few shots at Sapporo, Hokkaido, and teach them a lesson with your battleship's main guns. Give those remaining Liberal Democratic Party members a good shock. Hmph!"

Li Xinghe was laughing so hard he could barely stand up straight.

Since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, there has never been a case of battleships bombarding Japanese cities.

But what if?

Family members waved goodbye from the shore:

"Bon Voyage."

A large escort detachment surrounding the battleship Yashima gradually set sail, heading out of Tokyo Bay and towards Hokkaido.

As far as I know, it was the Japanese Prime Minister who visited Hokkaido.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Li Xinghe was going to suppress a rebellion or attack an enemy country.

After Li Xinghe left, Misato, Mikasa, and Chiyo whispered to each other:

"Huh? Why is Xuan Zhihua's belly bulging too?"

"It must be that little brat's."

"Oh no, silly Ju-yeon didn't fall for it."

Chapter 830: Your Daughter is Adorable, Taiwanese vs. Japanese (5200 words)

"Congratulations on the official deployment of the Yashima battleship!"

Escorted by the Yokosuka Regional Force, the battleship Yashima, accompanied by Li Xinghe and several female relatives, and assisted by the Marine Corps Brigade, prepared to travel to Hokkaido for inspection and investigation. They were to speak at the heavily invested immigration area to express their pro-international capital stance.

You asked what units the Yokosuka Regional Army has.

The two 570-ton Chichijima-class sea sweepers were commanded by a lieutenant commander and a captain, respectively.

They were determined to take those two old, dilapidated boats and clear mines one more time in the harbor they had sweeped countless times, to show themselves to the Prime Minister.

It's not fair to say they're wrong; what if someone really did secretly hide mines in the harbor?

Therefore, in order to protect Li Xinghe and prevent certain submarines from appearing near the battleships or a missile from suddenly landing on the aircraft carrier deck, this patrol also included the Nachi anti-missile interceptor, as well as five Ayanami-class anti-submarine destroyers from Yokosuka Port, namely DD-102 to DD-106, and the light naval ship Hyuga.

Such a combat formation, composed of air combatants, light aircraft, and destroyers, would be a formidable force in East Asia, and would be perfectly capable of dominating Southeast Asia.

Therefore, the fleet's northward journey was not only to visit Hokkaido, but also to make a visit to famous cities in the Tohoku and Hokkaido regions.

"Our first stop is Sendai."

Li Xinghe led his family to Sendai, which was not far away.

Sendai, known as Japan's music capital and forest capital, is the largest city in the Tohoku region with 153 million residents. As the Prime Minister, it's only natural that he would inspect the areas of Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, where over 100,000 immigrants have already been resettled.

As the ships approached Sendai, a welcoming party organized by the local town service group had already gathered at the harbor. However, they were clearly outnumbered by the opposition.

This is Li Xinghe's first visit to Sendai.

A considerable number of anti-Li Xinghe forces gathered at the port. These mainly consisted of various local conservative farmers and anti-Li factions from various universities in Sendai City.

Because Japanese people lack strong offensive swear words, young Sendai citizens use "Fuck you" and the middle finger to express their dissatisfaction with Lee Sung-ha.

Li Xinghe was not surprised by the cold reception he received on his first official visit outside of Tokyo.

The fierce infighting and political struggles within Tokyo have little impact on local political forces, and local residents are rarely involved.

However, Li Xinghe's plan to reduce the number of local governments and implement the third and largest provincial-level merger plan in postwar Japanese history has greatly displeased citizens like those in Sendai who live in the advantageous urban areas and have no interest in taking over remote rural areas.

You want us to spend money to support the poor in the countryside, right? You're trying to subtly transfer funds, aren't you?

be opposed to!

The immigrants who come from outside and set up farms in impoverished villages have provided a stable livelihood with their agricultural products, but they don't speak Japanese and their lifestyles are very different from Japanese. This makes us uneasy. We are even more uneasy if their children were to attend our schools and study alongside our children in the future.

be opposed to!

This is the main voice of opposition from the public after the Tokyo State Plan was launched.

Of course, because Li Xinghe cut off a large number of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) organizations, local powerful clans could not enter parliament through the LDP's organizational strength and repeatedly failed in elections. They could not access new national policies and instead had to face Li Xinghe's administrative district reforms. Therefore, these local riffraff hidden behind the scenes were the main driving force and economic support for the vigorous development of this opposition.

So Li Xinghe smiled and asked the mayor of Sendai, Ms. Gunwako, who was standing next to him:

"The citizens of Sendai don't seem very friendly."
